Obama jumps the shark
vanity ^ | today | me

Posted on 09/29/2009 7:57:19 AM PDT by 240B

Obama just came on television in the form of a commercial touting 'health care'.

According to Obama in the commercial, passing health care will result in no negative consequences at all.

In fact, passing the health care bill will result in no change to your current benefits.

1) I have never seen a sitting President advertise in commercial form for the passage of an active bill on the floor. He is wrapped up in this thing like a cocoon and must do anything to see it pass. Did we ever see GW advertising for his amnesty bill? BTW, who is paying for these commercials? (*snicker*, ha ha, we all know it is Soros in one way or another)

2) How do you advertise a proposed takeover of 1/6 th of the economy by saying that "nothing will change"? OK, if nothing will change then why do I need it? You freakin idiot!

The whole pitch seems to be that everything is better with gubbermint control. We won't change anything. We won't cover illegals. We just want to control it, that's all.

I just got hit with another commercial. This one talking about the "evil" insurance companies. "Stick it to the rich insurance companies. Vote for health care." Different tact same message.

These guys are desperate and it is amature hour at the White House. I cannot believe it.

I saw that too. At first I thought it was a Photo-shopped type thing but it is not. What the **** is our president doing in commercials for TV shows? Aren't there a few other things more pressing, like answering your General’s questions on Afghanistan?

That’s like missing a hemorrhoid because now you have cancer.

In the tagline. A tagline is the quote, or whatever, in parentheses after a person’s name at the bottom of the post.

Why the hell they don’t go ahead and hire Alfred E. Neuman now, I cannot fathom. This only gets more unbelievable.

That's not quite as desperate as having children pray to him... but for a narcissist, it has the advantage of letting him see himself on TV with a message he controls...

Dear leader has jumped the shark... but unlike Fonze - the show won't be canceled for years - lots more sharks to jump...

If the Obama show did get cancelled with Biden backing him up it would be like replacing reruns of Happy Days with reruns of Get Smart.

Nothing to do but wait it out as far as I can see.

Does he finally explain why, if there will be so much savings, “health care reform” will cost so much?

Not when pandering to Hispanics can be accomplished.

When you hit the Post Reply button and get the posting screen you should see where you can put your tagline.

On the posting screen the first block you can type in is the "b"To: button. The next block you can type in is the Your reply button. The next block you can type in is Tagline: (optional, printed after your name on post):

Does that make sense? If not then you can also look directly above the Spell/Preview?Post buttons and your tagline is there.

What is a tagline? Sorry I am so dumb.
***You’ve been here at FR a whole decade and you don’t know what a tagline is? Not a very frequent visitor, eh?
